Edo Traveler

Chapter 38: Clues are all broken and clueless

   The situation makes Chuemon a bit dumbfounded!

   To be honest, even in the Tokugawa shogunate, which was still in the feudal era in 1841, when the adults gave an order, the efficiency was absolutely amazing. However, after arresting more than 6,000 people in two days, there was no one suspected of committing a major crime.

   Most of the horsemen, cattle breeders, cargo transporters, and even grass ropes. After the people who bundle the big bales on the dock were caught by the eyes, they only asked briefly and knew that it was impossible to commit crimes. Absence to prove that this thing is quite certain, most of the towns and towns have gates and fences, and once the fires of the gates are confirmed, most of the people are excluded.

   Some of the remaining people claimed to be somewhere outside the city, and some said that they were staying somewhere. After careful investigation, they were basically sure that there was no suspicion. In the end, there was really no alibi, and that would be a big punishment. The ghosts and wolves howled, but couldn't tell how they came in to steal the tea bowl.

   Some people don't even know where the Nara House is, let alone steal it. Even if they confess their guilt, it is useless. Just as Masakane Yabe was preparing to directly teach the suspect how to commit the crime, Mizuno Tadakuni came to inspect the scene again and asked about the progress of the case.

   After interrogating the few remaining suspects, he immediately found out that these people were not criminals, and released them on the spot. After all, it is the old bureaucrat who has been working for years, and there are a few tricks in the following things. Mizuno said the same thing. He felt that he was sitting upright, and he didn't need to find a dead ghost to confess his guilt to remove suspicion.

   This clue is broken!

   As for what Chuemon thinks and what Naraya Shigeemon has hatred, there is no need to investigate, it is a well-known thing. One is Mizuno Tadabang, who has made drastic reforms and reforms. Although it is not incompatible with fire and water, it is not much worse.

   There is also a great Edo merchant, Kinokuniya Bunzaemon. This old man is a leader in the Edo wood industry, and he can tell from the merchant's name. This old man came from the Kishu clan. Originally the Miao character was Igarashi, and then Kinokuniya was used as the Miao character.

  Because of the fire in Edo year after year, Kinikuniya Bunzaemon, who has a huge supply of wood and a mountain field outside the city, is equivalent to holding a cornucopia in his hand. As long as you build a house, you need wood and you can make money while lying down at home.

  He and Naraya Shigeemon used to often show off to each other. The reason is very simple. Naraya was originally a white glove from the Tokugawa family and the shogunate. And Kinokuniya was an emerging power that developed with the Kishu domain becoming the master, behind which was the Kishu domain and the shogunate's heavy ministers who came from the Kishu domain.

   The confrontation between old and new forces is not only on the political level, but also spreading on the economic level!

   But this Kinokuniya Bunzaemon is worse than Naraya Shigeemon. He has been almost cut on the neck by Mizuno Tadakuni. The timber industry, which is the main business of Kinokuniya, was directly "intervened" by Mizuno Tadakuni.

   The Hamamatsu clan of Mizuno Tadakuni was located at the lower reaches of the Tenryu River in the Far River Kingdom. A large amount of Shinano and Far River timbers were cut down from the mountains through the convenient waterway of the Tenryu River, and then followed the Tenryu River to the Hamamatsu Castle. Then you can use the waterway from Hamamatsu to Edo Bay, turning it into the infinite wealth of Kinokuniya.

   At the moment Mizuno Tadakuni stabs Kinokuniya with a sharp knife. He stipulates that the timber drifting down from the upper reaches of the Tenryu River is not allowed to be monopolized by Kinokuniya, and will be freely traded in the future.

  Because the downstream only had the monopoly of Kinokuniya, and other merchants could not get involved, so free trading was impossible. In order to ensure free trading, Mizuno ordered all timber to be seized and prohibited from being sold. It was not allowed to sell until merchants from all over the country were able to buy and sell freely.

  Good fellow, Naraya hasn't had any major crisis yet, Kii Kuniya has been cut down by Mizuno Tadakuni!

   Where does this man have any thoughts to fight with Nara, he ran all the way to Hamamatsu earlier, waiting for the so-called free trade. I don’t know how bad the mood is. If the theft does not happen, I am afraid that Naraya Shigeemon did not commit suicide, and Kinikuniya Bunzaemon would commit suicide first.

   is like this, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to still be in the mood to engage your old opponent!

   Besides, they are really not in Edo!

   Although the suspicion of Kinokuniya cannot be completely ruled out, the whole case has really reached a dead end again. Judging from the motives for committing the crime, only two people are highly suspected, but these two are indeed unlikely to commit the crime.

  Mother, why is this case so strange!

   "This Nara Shigeru, is there any hatred against anyone?" Chuemon sat on the couch with no clue.

   "No, not only not, but also has a good reputation in Edo." Heizo was also scratching his ears.

In the past, when Naraya and Kinokuniya were showing signs of separation from each other, in order to suppress Kinokunya, Naraya even gave sugar to one million people in the city, and usually funded some flower viewing conventions~www.wuxiaspot.com~Fireworks Of the assembly. Although the original intention was to show off their wealth and want to suppress Kinokuniya, the people of Edo really benefited from him.

   It's impossible to say that everyone praises it. Everyone likes only gold, but Naraya does not have too many bright enemies.

   "Does he have a son or brother? That kind of unwilling." Chuemon could only start from other aspects.

   "There are sons, but they are all young, and the oldest is only fourteen years old, and they are still studying."

   "Where is my brother?"

   "I have separated long ago, and each has a business house."

   Tademon frowned. If the son is still young, there is nothing to scare his father to death in order to seize the property. Moreover, in the case of a son, the brothers who split the family generally do not seize large amounts of property with small clans. Naraya is a "sharer" of the shogunate, and the inheritance of the family business needs even Tokugawa Ieki to know, and the possibility of messing around is not high.

   "Don't think about it, don't think about it, you two." A soft cry came into my ears.

   The two raised their heads and saw that they were the Yuli beside Yuan Shanyuan. Although they were not the immediate boss, they were the confidants of the immediate boss and could not whisper.

   "My lord!" Tadaemon and Heizo said in unison.

   "Set aside the case of Naraya, and go to Miura." Na Yuri put down a paper.

   "Miura?" Heizo had never heard of this place name.

   "Miura District, Izu Country."

   "Why are you going to Miura suddenly?"

   "That's natural, there are a lot of things in the office now because of the Naraya case. Everyone is too busy to deal with each other, so you have to have some free time. Let's go."

   "Hainan Shrine?" Tadaemon glanced at the document, and it was the name on it.
